Some suggestions:
https://organicmaps.app/donate
https://www.freecad.org/sponsor.php
https://inkscape.org/support-us/donate
https://donate.kicad.org/
Might I suggest https://www.comaps.app/ instead of Organic Maps.
CoMaps is a truly open source fork, whereas it is questionable in Organic Maps case.
Organic Maps is a bit iffy.
It's registered here in Estonia. Neat, a trustworthy European country, right?! Nah, we allow people from all over the world to register companies. The people behind Organic Maps are one Russian and one Belorussian individual.
Their LLC hasn't exactly been making a lot of money from donations either it seems, so who knows how they're actually making their money. They have to be making money somehow, right? My guess is that it's not as privacy-focused as one may think. The source code available on GitHub is one thing, but who knows if that's what they actually upload to Play Store and App Store? But then again, this is just speculation, it's not like I've inspected the packets or anything.
F-droid builds everything from source so I trust the binaries.
Speaking of which, I donate to f-droid.
+1 for FreeCAD Awesome tool!
